Is “either” only used with two options?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Most commonly it is used with only 2, however it is sometimes used for more than 2 options. So basically, you can use it, but it's just uncommon and easier to omit the word completely.

For example:

You can have either 100, 200, or 300 bars of chocolate.
You can have 100, 200, or 300 bars of chocolate.

Whilst either works, it is unneeded.
Answer 2
Answer: Not necessarily. One can you either to indicate a similarity to a group. For example:

'None of my friends are going to the party. I'm not gonna go either.'

or you can use either to compare multiple choices...

'She could go left, right or back home. Either way, it seemed Sarah would regret her decision in the morning.

Did the twentieth century span the years 1900 to 1999 or the years 1901 to 2000?

Answers

Did the twentieth century span the years 1900–1999 or the years 1901–2000?

According to the style manual, centuries should be spelled out in lower case. Therefore the correct spelling of "twentieth century" should be lower not upper case like "Twentieth Century". The style manual also indicates that beginning and ending years should be separated with an en-dash as in 1900-1999 or 1901-2000.

The only answer choice that does both of these correctly is the second one.

Which of the following sentences contains a verb in the future tense

Answers

I don't know which of the following sentences you have to choose from, but a future tense sentence looks something like this:

"We are going to go to Hawaii this summer!" She exclaimed.

The girl in this example is telling her friends what is going to happen, therefore it's set in the future tense. Another example is:

The school group was going to go to the park to see the ballgame. 

The future tense is basically explaining or saying something that hasn't happened yet or is going to happen.

If you wanna know future tense it will most likely have will or will have(future perfect)
